A Day in the Life of a Marine Sniper

- This is My Life is a photo-based journal documenting the lives, personalities and leadership styles of Marines currently serving in Afghanistan. This is Cpl. Dennis Cox's third deployment and his second to Afghanistan. The New York City native enlisted at the age of 18, inspired in part by the events of 9/11. He left for his first deployment as a rifleman. Now, at the age of 24, he's returned to Afghanistan as a sniper supporting Marines conducting foot patrols in Helmand province.

This Marine is showing maturity beyond his years. Definitely not falsely motivated, just a Marine who goes to work and does his job when called upon.
Honored to know a bit of Cpl Cox. Semper Fi Marine.
M40A5 with a surefire 7.62 suppressor...haha what a beauty
It sexy isn't it?
A3 is more my style but he'll ain't it amazing, the M40 series feels like the perfect combo between your grand dads old hunting rifle that has never damaged and is the most durable thing in the world, and the new ultra modern rifles which break with every drop. As accurate as our new rifles, but as durable as our old ones.
hot
from new York but sounds southern as hell
You spend enough time in the Corps and you'll eventually sound Southern. I'd say too many southerners find their way into the Marines, but I love our southern brothers and most of em ended up in 0311 anyway.
@@chenzenzo most veterans are Texans since WW2 we’ve had the most people out of any other state too join the armed services
That's me too I don't want to look back and say man I should have join the marines. I want to make myself and my family proud. Never give up your dreams!

I have regretted things I haven't done more than the things I have done.
I just can`t decide if I want to join the Marines, or Naval Special Warfare.
Haystack Bunker ...Marines hands down, Semper Fi! The original special forces!
The thing is, if you go into naval special warfare and you get injured and have to recycle or if you fail out and have to recycle, then what? You get sent to fleet as an undesignated rate and now you a sailor and you will be given some shitty MOS until you can re-enroll in NSW or until your service commitment ends.
If you are in the Marines you can go for infantry, force recon, MARSOC, QRF, and a bunch of other MOS’s that are kind of parallel to special forces.
And the cool thing about MARSOC (Marine Raiders) is you can apply from any MOS in the Marines, not just infantry or recon.
And let’s be honest, Marine Raiders are just way cooler than Navy seals! :-).
Anyway. Marines have and still do look at every marine as a special forces operator. That is why for the longest time they refused to create a “special forces” group within the Corp. Force Recon kind of became that but I don’t think anyone in the Marines officially designated force recon as special operations. With the addition of MARSOC Raiders in JSOC, Raiders within the Marines are kind of looked at like the Delta force of the Marines.
Also, a little history lesson, the Marine Raiders were technically the first official commando “special forces”. They were formed in WWII by Roosevelt and the tactics and techniques they developed were adopted by the army and navy when they created their special forces. At the end of wwii the Marines disbanded the Raiders... and a few years ago they decided to resurrect the title and assign it to the MARSOC marine units.
Well, did you join?
This is my rifle, this is my gun
This ones for fighting and this ones for fun
Bish Please we gonna edit that out
Thank you for your service Cpl. Cox.
Cpl. Cocks sounds like a good guy
if you are on our team lol
Cox lmao
Thank you for the video
Thank You Corp Cox
This is my dream job my number one thing I want to do In life.
Me too 😌😌
well are you training for it?
Semper Fi HOG! Great video.
you guys are the most bad ass people I have ever seen
I remember going to the range in stone bay for qual and seeing the snipers come running by with full gear and weapons.
im joining the marines that has always been my dream and I intend to achieve it
Semper FI Bro!!!!!
Best job ever !!
Beautiful rifle
What kind of range finder is he using ? It's at 1:47
I honestly feel bad for Scout/ Snipers, they have no tangible benefits from the Marine Corps for going through some of the hardest training the Corps has to offer. We have Lances and Corporals, and correct me if I am wrong but also some PFC's passing Indoc and Scout Sniper School, and until they become a 0369 (if they choose to do so), pretty much all the Corps can offer them is Scout/ Sniper Team Leader course. Where is the upward progression? At the very least, I think the Marine Corps should authorize the wear of an external device just like MARSOC, Recon, and EOD.
c m0808 what do you mean by external device?

Being a sniper in the US military is my dream too :D
How did it go?
Yea
I know how hard it is but I really I hope I can become a sniper.
NormadBear 1 why do you want to be a sniper
hey marines, thats actually why im joining is to become a 0317 is there any information on how someone achieves that. i know it wont be easy but any help i can get will be appreciated. im just waiting to take my test and swear in. hope you can help
Same here. From what I have found out you go in with a infantry MOS then when you achieve the rank of Lance Corporal you can request sniper school.
-Poolee Newkirk
Colby Sowter ,
Utilize the recruiters near you, they'll do everything they can to help you get into the Corps!
Semper Fi,
- Lance Cpl. Filipowicz
Colby Sowter join the infantry get to your unit. then you have a chance to do an indoc for scout sniper. pass that u go into sniper platoon and you wait until you get the go ahead to do sniper school.
Same here im gonna try for marsoc also.my advice is to just talk to your recruiter
did you enlist yet or finish recruit training?
What's the MOS for it? How do I sign up or get selected?
thšs perssonnn 0317 scout sniper
How do you become a marine sniper
0:30 anyone else think that guy looks like Gaz from Modern Warfare 2019
This was my dream to be a marine scout sniper but I don't have 20/20 vision so I joined the Army infantry.
Candy Theif Why didnt you just join Marines as an 0311 or 03xx in general?
Clara
This is interesting now I Know what a day is like for any Marines with the Sniper 🌸🌺💃👨👩👧👧
Kalin I don't think that's true because ny grandfather was a scout sniper for the corps and a damn good one he was corporal when he ended his term he climbed ranks as a sniper
Does anyone know if it is possible enough to become a Scout sniper or infantry man and still attend college courses online? If I do go to I would have completed 1 year of college but planning to go after I complete my associates degree and then taking courses online while serving and trying to become am Officer using MCEP.

It is possible to enlist & then become a Scout Sniper if you score well enough on your ASVAB & meet all the criteria. Scout Snipers must earn the rank of Lance Corporal, be selected by their battalion to join the scout-sniper platoon, and complete an approved scout-sniper course in order to receive this designation.
1.) I'm not sure if online college courses count as an accredited university, but I could be wrong.
2.) I don't think you can get a commission even through MCEP with an associates degree; I believe you need a bachelor's degree in something to do that.
3.) I'm pretty sure most Scout Snipers are active duty billets where they don't want you, an enlisted member, trying to be a part time college student to get a commission.
4.) I've never heard or seen a Scout Sniper Officer who's in the field pulling the trigger on the sniper rifle.
I'm inferring from what you said that you're wanting to be a sniper for a reason. Scout Sniper's work in pairs normally, & have around 8-10 pairs in a platoon. Obviously commanded by a company grade officer, but you're a specialty billet, so you're gonna' be part of a weapons company most likely, & that weapons company is going to be apart of your whole battalion. I'd presume that the Platoon Leader position (Officer) would just come from a Recon Platoon leader MOS, or standard Infantry / Intelligence Officer. (Take this with a grain of salt) Those officers really don't have any business pullin' the trigger on a sniper rifle. They're issuing targets & relaying things / giving commands. 9/10 You & your spotter will have orders from that officer to be tasked as needed to another platoon in which that infantry officer just became your commander. You'll be taking orders from that officer most likely.
I could be ENTIRELY wrong, I'm just a seventeen year old kid aspiring to be an infantry officer myself from the academy, but I'm just trying to give you my opinion, & thoughts. To be sure - although nothing is guaranteed - I'd go talk to your area's Officer Selection Officer & tell him / her what you'd like to do & how to do it.
That's what I'm going to do, semper Fi

Unapropiate accident sorry SGT. I salute you, angle real raw sit down take him gutsy

Why make a scout sniper story generic?
ust joined the military excited but nervous i am only in the reserves right now because i am 16
Your did not join the reserves at 16
@@walkersamericanoutdoors7840 so I commented this on a marine video and I think that is where the confusion comes in. In Canada you are actually allowed to enroll in the reserves at 16 with parental consent and assuming you are also enrolled in high school.
@@shadowxpredatorful oh neat, yeah my eyes about crossed when i saw 16. Kerns, USMC
I hope I get this mos
Is that an M40A5?
Yeah!! I want to be a 0317 :)
Could y'all please come help me clean up Carolina beach . love Lamb

Cpl. 1/8 & 1/6 0341/ 8541 78-82 & 87 Diago Garcia & the gulf of Hormuz. “ I LOVE THE CORPS”
This would be a perfect job for me
You're verbally rambling, corporal. Semper Fi.
Surefire makes our cans?
Love USA.🇺🇸

I'm only 13 and ever since I was 10 I've always wanted to join the marines I'm split on infantry and sniper the only thing that has me too afraid to go for sniper is I heard that the sniper has to watch over there platoon and that kinda stress and thought of if I don't do my job right and someone gets hurt or worse its my fault idk if that's true or they only do recon. Infantry just seems like a thing I would want to do. I know people say "you should do something that would help you outside of the marines" but like in the video I feel like I would regret not going either one of them
Omg hardscoper
Id love to be a sniper but im shit at math
Can u still have a chance make it
I wanted to do this after my second deployment but I couldn't reenlist because of my tattoos lol rah
Wacey Preston why not?
***** I couldn't reenlist cuz I have sleeves on both side of my arms
Great job Buckaroos
Dude from New York but sounds like he’s from Alabama 😂 wtf lol
I thought every marine is a rifle man.
Every Marine is a riflemen some are more elite than others
+Minh Pham ah oh thanks
Every marine is first and foremost a rifleman, there are certain Mos's that are more difficult then others like a Marine Sniper.
@ViceLord22 Wrong... every Marine is a rifleman.
Every Marine is always a marine. That's their first job.
Thought Snipers have Protected-Identity Status?
The 18 dislikes=18 ISIS members.
God sucks about his name though....
THE USMC KEEPS USING BLACK POWDER IN THEIR 7.62 NATO, SUPPRESSOR AINT REALLY USEFUL FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN 30-06; THEY TRAIN WITH EVERYTHING FROM M24 TO M4 TO M82
